The Calling of Law (eBook, ePUB)

The Pivotal Role of Vocational Legal Education
Redaktion: Westwood, Fiona; Barton, Karen

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The profession of law enjoys a special standing in society and the legal profession is expected to exhibit the highest levels of honesty, trust and morality. At a time when the very essence of the legal profession is under threat this book calls for a realignment of the legal curriculum and pedagogies so as to emphasise the development of culture over industry; character over eloquence; and calling over skill. The chapters are grouped around the key themes and include contributions from leading international experts in order to present alternative approaches aimed at tackling common issues, providing insight and provoking debate.
